Are Storage Units A Waste Of Money?

It’s a notion that many people have when they consider renting a self storage facility, especially with the current high cost of food, groceries, everyday necessities, and interest rates in the United Kingdom today.

Some may argue that self storage is a waste of money, but their convenience can save you money, time and aggravation in the long run.

The key is to make effective use of the storage area!

Self Storage Company

Prime Storage Liverpool, helps you to understand how a storage facility can ease your life and actually benefit you financially. 

Offering some of the best prices and discounts for self storage units in Liverpool, Prime Storage are able to help people save money and make self storage worthwhile, compared to other expensive alternatives such as renting a full-time office.

Here are just some ways that spending money on storage facilities, can actually save you money:

Home Insurance

If you have valuable items that are taking up space in your home, chances are your home insurance premiums and fees are high.

By storing these items in a storage unit instead, you can reduce your home insurance bill, as content insurance is included in our storage tariffs.

Office Rent

If you work from home all the time, chances are you don’t need a full time office. However, there are times when you may need to meet with clients or host events.

Renting a storage unit gives you the perfect solution as you can use the unit as a part time office when you need it, and the rest of the time, you can use it as an extra space to store your office equipment, furniture and supplies.

This is a much cheaper solution than paying for a full-time office space that you may not even use most of the time, and may even help you to invest the money you save, into your companies products and or services.

Moving Costs

If you’re moving to a new home or office, self-storage can save you money in many ways and can help to avoid the potential of falling into credit card debt through moving services.

If you need to move out of your current home or office before your new one is ready, self-storage can provide a convenient and cost-effective solution for our customers.

You can keep your possessions in a storage facility until your new residence or office is ready, and then move them in at your convenience.

This is a good way to avoid deductions in your finances for delivery vehicles and fuel, as well as the stress of trying to find a place to store things temporarily.

House Prices

You might not be aware, but self storage is a growing trend in the UK.

Prices of homes in the UK increased during the Covid 19 pandemic which affected many people, with many opting to rent a storage unit to store property they couldn’t store in the homes they can afford.

Some are still to this day combining households, hosting family members and even preparing to sell or purchase their new family home.

These ideas bring about the problem of storage space for property stored in homes, prior to downsizing.

Whilst these might be the reasons why more people are renting self storage units, it also shows that you can save money by renting storage space.

Using a storage unit offers a solution and gives you peace of mind that your belongings and valued possessions are safe.

We are sure you’d rather spend little money to rent a storage unit versus replacing valuable items, which can be far more expensive.

A person who lives alone can also rent affordable storage units, instead of paying for a big house or a single bedroom apartment to store the many things they have, which saves money.

Sometimes, people want to keep things but have no place to put them and end up selling it for a fraction of the price, or giving it away because they need the space.

If you are one of those people who have considered any of these situations, then self storage can benefit you.

Wasting Money

When thinking about the current storage facility you rent or thinking about renting, there are a few major factors to consider, to ensure you are not overpaying and wasting your hard earned cash. For example:

Location

You might be able to find a cheaper storage unit that is a bit further away from your home or office, but will cost you more in fuel to get there.

Size

If you rent a storage unit that is too big for your needs, you will be paying for space that you are not using.

If you rent a unit that is too small, you will likely have to move to a bigger unit sooner than necessary.

It’s important to take inventory of the items you need to store and then choose a storage unit that is the right size for your needs.

Duration

If you only need to store your belongings for a short period of time, you might be able to get a cheaper rate by renting for a shorter duration.

However, if you need to store your belongings for an extended period of time, you might be able to get a better deal by signing a longer lease.

Discounts

Some storage facilities offer discounts for customers who pay their rent upfront or sign a long-term lease.

It’s important to ask about discounts when you are considering different storage units to ensure that you are getting the best deal possible.

Asking these questions and being mindful of these factors will help ensure that you are not overpaying for your self storage unit.
